I had just come to own several various old books, some over 60 years old, and some of which were quite dusty. I had done some research on what professional book restorers do, and all of them recommended the soot sponge (aka "chemical sponge," although there are no actual chemicals) as one very useful method. It definitely worked wonders.Now, just to clarify, this WILL NOT remove stains - as in, anything that has soaked into the material. I noticed many bad reviews complaining about this. Think of this product as a large eraser. You wouldn't expect that to absorb dried in coffee stains or anything, would you? Same principal. It only removes "surface" dirt and soot, whatever is able to be "released" from the material. This is a very important point to take note of.Having said that, I had gone through the process of wiping down the books, which still appeared dingy, with some musty smells. Some restorers recommend vacuuming, but I think that is not necessary in most cases. I then used the sponge, and could immediately see the difference. The covers brightened up right away. Just to be clear, you cannot expect it to "put back" what is not there. That means, if colors have faded due to sunlight or ink fade, that is what you get, faded colors. What this will do is remove any dirt, soot, and dingy materials that are covering the material. And so, while not looking completely brand-new, all the books definitely improved in appearance, as I said, right away.If that is not enough, there is a follow-through method using a "Chemical Clean Cover Gel," but that gets into some serious commitment, and is using harsh, toxic petroleum-based chemicals, best to use only if you know exactly what you are doing. That said, this sponge is the best way to start the restoration process.------To Note: This product can also be used on window and lamp shades, blinds, various upholstery and more.And note that, since it does behave like an eraser, it will leave "droppings" behind, that you will need to clean up as you use it.And you can wash it after use, but never use it wet. Dry it completely. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ For Soot Damage *by P***S on Reviewed in the United States πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ on June 21, 2013* I was in the cleaning and restoration industry for a bit, (IICRC certified for water, fire, smoke damage restoration) and this was the product they used to clean soot off the walls of fire damaged homes. While I do not know the brand the company used, its the same product.If you have a candle and see the dark soot along the walls or ceilings, this is the product to use to clean it. Using a wet paper towel or Clorox wipes will SET the soot and stain the walls. My wife had a minor fire in the house, (was able to put it out, no one was hurt) and used Clorox wipes to clean the soot and now the soot is set into the paint. Now the area will need to be sealed and repainted (she didn't know any better, stuff happens).Also, if you see corners of ceilings that have black spider webs, it is really a carbon chain of soot bonded ionically. Many people also assume the cobwebs they see in their homes are spider webs, when in reality, they are carbon chains of dust and dead skin cells. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Use this first! *by Q***3 on Reviewed in the United States πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ on April 7, 2018* It does work to remove soot on drywall like magic. I just wish that I had not tried to get soot off the wall with water and spray cleaner in one area before I tried this. The sponge doesn't touch the smeared soot in that one area. I had to wash the sponge after cleaning just a small area. It takes a long time to dry after washing.I tried using it on a textured ceiling, and I could see a big difference where I rubbed the sponge, but the texture started coming off. We had a kitchen fire and I read that if you just paint over the soot, it will come through the new paint. So you have to get rid of the soot or else buy some kind of special primer before repainting. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/3812390-intex-k-42r-sponge](https://www.desertcart.be/products/3812390-intex-k-42r-sponge) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-05-15*
